The Caps, a very good hockey team, played the Devils, a not very good hockey team, on Thursday night in DC.
The first period happened. And then the second period happened. After 40 painfully boring minutes of hockey, we went to the third tied at zero.
Then, with the Caps on the PP, SOMETHING FINALLY HAPPENED. Jakub Vrana scored to give the Caps a 1-0 lead with just under 13 minutes left.
Caps win 1-0! Holtby gets the shutout!
- Braden Holtby recorded his league-high 8th shutout. The team recorded their franchise-best 14th straight home win.
- But goodness was that first period boring.
- Tonight in the RMNB Slack channel, I learned a horrifying truth: Peter doesn’t like seafood.
- And just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, CFTC revealed that he doesn’t like fried chicken. I’ve never been more ashamed of this website.
- Okay, so it wasn’t just the first period that was boring. Deep into the second period, this is still the most Devils game the Devils have ever Deviled.
- “Beagle looking to ignite Verizon Center on this rush” is a thing Joe B said tonight. Things were so dire that we were turning to Jay Beagle to bring the excitement.
- Dmitry Orlov got a fighting major without even dropping his gloves. Okay.
- This game got so boring that Peter wrote a post about how boring the Devils are.
- This nonsense needs to stop happening:
5v5 ice time through 2:
Beagle-6:50
Eller-6:43— RMNB (@russianmachine) March 3, 2017
- Boring games really cause you to learn some horrifying truths. Peter, Elyse, and CFTC all don’t like sushi.
- Brett Connolly should not make a habit of taking a double minor in the third period of a one-goal game.
